A recent study [1]} examined 10 million tweets generated by 700,000 different Twitter accounts and linked to 600 fake and conspiracy news sites. It identified clusters of Twitter accounts that linked back to these sites repeatedly, often in ways that seemed coordinated or even automated. In another study, it was found that 6.6 million tweets with fake news were distributed before the 2016 US elections. Different social and political events such as the 2016 US presidential election [2]} were tainted by a growing number of fake news.
